Polygonatum hookeri

This is the tiniest species in the Genus, and one of my favourites coming from Uttar Pradesh in northern India, and southwestern China. It grows between 3000-5000 m above sea level.   Named after the plant explorer, and botanist  Sir Joseph  Hooker, its acaulescent flowers push forth slightly ahead of the foliage. In total height it is about 5 cm. I grow mine in a lava rock trough where it spreads happily by underground rhizome. As a matter of fact it found a small porous opening and has managed to poke its head out of the side of the lava rock. This demonstrates it vigorous growth habit.
It has a pleasant carnation-like scent but of a milder quality when you nestle your nostrils over it. Who would know it's a Solomon's Seal.
